Observations OF q Man Who Deals Ex.
clusively in These Documents.
81 deal in nothing but tax titles" said
Cyrus Johnston recently to Detroit Netcs
reporter. '.The business has reached such
a magnitude that it requires all my time'
Candldly, if l were out of it l would choose
some other calling. There isn't the money
IN it that peonle imagine. Yet it is per.
fectlv honorable business and in the
whole range of my experience there is
nothing have to be ashamed of. I buy
mp tax titles at every sale and depend for
my profits upon the Sc ttements made with
parties directly interested. Frequently I
let people Of moderate means down with.
out expense TO speak of, and l must say
that the men Of the most means are the
toughest customers l have to deal with.
On certain property owned by one of the
wealthiest firms in the city, l hold a tax
title of twenty-five years standing. They
know it's a cloud on their land but can
get nothing out of them. They simply say
that the matter isn't worrying them SO
long as they don't want to sell, and then
they stop. Most dealers prefer titles on
land outside the city. Give me city titles.
Settlements are prompter, come easier
and pay better.
There's one thing the average business
man does not understand. This is the un-
certainty attaching to what even experts
may pronounce perfect title. Some old
deed, transfer or request, some matter Of
unpaid taxes or lost heir comes up after
years. Of quiet possession, and
sither money must be paid or
possession forfeited. Look at that big
Gle case full OF papers there. Every docu-
ment is menaee TO property now owned
in the city or county, and liable at any
time to pass into new hands. A very rich
citizen called on me yesterday and agreed
TO pay me a handsome fee for simply
strengthening out the tax records so that
he might know exactly how he stood and
how much he would have to pay in order
that his land might be free from future
trouble because of such claims against it.
These taxes titles are calculated to make
trouble, and the only safe way is to see
that they're fully paid before you buy
land and then settle regularly yourself"

AN AFRICAN HOLIDAY.
DccRpitating Offensive Political Partisan

DccRpitating Offensive Political Partisans
in Dahomey.
The day came off, writes an interview
er of the King of Dahomey in the North
american ReUieao. Evans, with a shudder,
declined to attend. He had seen it the
year before. In the center of the court
yard 4 platform was erected, hung with
silks, velvets and flags, incl cluding that of
Dahomey-a white ground, with figure
hold.ng aloft a decapitated head in one
hand and a cimiter in the other. On this
platform stood the King, surrounded by
bis mobiles, among whom had a promised
seat, while below struggled mass of
lfty thousand or more people, kept in
some order by the woman guard.
Tie affair began by the King personally
.hrowing into sliding trench various
packages of goods, consisting of cottons,
clothes and cloths, knives, muskets, pipes
iud tobacco, all of which were fought
iercely for by the crowd below. Then
came the grand point, the slaughter.
The victims were brought forth lashed
nto boat-shaped baskets, in sitting posi-
ion, with knees drawn up to the chin, and
lifted into the slide, from which they went
down to the crowd below. Then there
came horrible scramble. Thous ands,
with long and bright knives, threw them
selves on the victim and in moment he
was hacked to pieces, as well as were
some of his hackers, the victor being the
pne who came off with the head.
This was kept up for three hours, the
number killed amounting to about 200, un-
til the crowd below were reeking and
smeared with blood. A more horrible
sight was never witnessed, and it did not
lessen the horror with me to be told that
this is not mere useless slaughter, as
civilized nations supposed, but day Of
execution, the decapitated being GRIM
mails, traitors, and prisoners of war who
have been offensive political partisans."
1t is the highest holiday in the year, and
the only one where much slanghtering is
done; and there is no ododbt-according to
hlr. Evans-that the King himself
wishes to abolish that part of it, but dares
pOt.

"Just Hear That Child screanr,

as the sound of a child's shrieks came

"What kind of woman have you for a

one of the most tender mothers in exist

fashioned styles of doctoring When a
child needs physic, she fills a spoon with
some nauseous dose, lays the little victim
fat on her lap, holds his nose till he is
forced to open his mouth for breath, when
down goes the dreadful mess. Then come
the yells." ''No wonder said Mrs. Smith

William Hosea Eailou. in the North American
 Review.
 We now find ourselves confronted with the greatest question of modern times, viz. What Is to be the Ameri- can of the futuref History would show that nations which lived unto them selves have died out. To say that we are living over their lives, literature and thoughts that there is nothing new under the sun--is the greatest libel on the grandest age in the history of the world The past is scarcely the basis of the present and future The growth of man intellectually during the past ten years is greater and of more importance than that during his entire previous history.
 If, then, other nations died out be- cause they lived unto themselves, 1t is proof presumptive that all intermix- ture of races by intermarriagc, and in customs and languages, must endure forever. This asscmblage of nations on the American continent this rapid development of A universal language by the analgamation of ali tongues, past and present this formation of a single race of man out of all races, can only be regarded as colossal scheme of nature to infltrate new life into humanity, and produce an enduring and higher type of man and language.

ABOUT TOBACCO.
How the Fragrant Weed is Marketed and Manufactured at Louisville, Ky.
 --Some Notable Tobacco Men.

Louisville is the greatest tobacco market on the face of the earth. Time was when she had rivals, but to-day her supremacy is practically undis-
 puted. And what is more, the best tobacco in the world is sold at Louis vile. For long time Richmond and Lynchburg and Danville, Va., while far behind in the quantity of leaf sold, claimed to be rival markets on the score of quality. But since the Ken lucky Bluegrass district has come to the front as tobacco growing section (which it has done since the discovery of the variety known as "White Burley.'0 Louisville is far ahead in the matter of quality as she has ever been in the quantity of her sales; for "White Burley," like the other principal products of this matchless Kentucky Bluegrass region,
